Actresses from two of The WB's supernaturally tinged series are co-starring in a TV movie set in the slightly less bizarre world of dating in the big city. Former "Angel" cast member Charisma Carpenter and "Charmed" star Holly Marie Combs will co-star in the romantic comedy "See Jane Date." The movie, based on a novel of the same name by Melissa Senate, is scheduled to air on ABC Family in August. Carpenter plays the title character, a single New Yorker who finds herself dateless shortly before a wedding.

Abject begging isn't pretty, but "Chuck" (7 p.m. Central Monday, WMAQ-Ch. 5) deserves it. The show is in danger of cancellation, but this delightful spy dramedy should absolutely get a third season. So, it's begging time: Please watch Monday's "Chuck" and the April 27 episode, which finishes off the show's second season. I adore this show and would be truly saddened if it didn't return. In the course of doing this job, I've become much more accepting about TV cancellations.

"CHUCK" 7 p.m. Monday, WMAQ-Ch. 5 New dramedy: Stars Zachary Levi, Adam Baldwin, Yvonne Strahovski Rating: Wanted to like it more than I did. Giving a negative review to "Chuck" is like kicking a puppy or taking a kid's candy. I feel like a heel for even considering it. Still, despite "Chuck's" zippy pace and fun dialogue, this nerd-friendly "spy-fi" show from "O.C." creator Josh Schwartz has plot holes you could drive a truck through. Given the show's genial, hard-working nature, I wanted to look past those structural problems, but I couldn't.

'ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: THE SQUEAKQUEL' "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" is a kids comedy that screams "Direct to DVD." It doesn't help that it screams that in high, squeaky, three-part harmony. Whatever slim charms there were in the nostalgic, musically cute and slapstick-friendly first film of chipmunk mania are squished right out of The Squeakquel like so much rodent roadkill. The cast is cut rate, and the script needed a serious visit from a serious gag writer.

Secret agents are hot this season. Here's a look at five current small-screen spies and the undercover agents of past TV shows who seem to have inspired them. Edward Albright "My Own Worst Enemy," NBC Actor: Christian Slater Edward speaks 13 languages, is trained to kill, works for a clandestine organization and has a split personality that gives him a cover. Spy forebear: When Sydney Bristow's personal and work lives intertwined on "Alias," people died--and actress Jennifer Garner pouted.

Monday: "Chuck" (7 p.m., WMAQ-Ch. 5).
